Re: Are Ramp settings are like training wheels on a bicycle?

I tried the ramp at first but found as the pressure increased leaks would develop. Now just try to inhale as the machine turns on, after a few breaths I don't realize it's even on.

Re: MIRAGE SWIFT II HELP

I can't help with posting pictures, I've never tried. The pillow's can be turned by sliding off the clip on the front and turning the pillows around.

Re: MIRAGE SWIFT II HELP

With the Swift II the the hose can connect to either side of the frame. Just remove the plug and hose, and swap sides.

Not sure if this is the problem or not, but was my first thought.

Re: Amtrak cross country help- first time AMTRAK

I'm not sure what version of software you have, but I think I remember reading the M-series w/ A-flex requires Encore Pro 1.8x or Encore viewer.

I've been leaning towards the M-series auto with C-flex because I have Encore Pro 1.6x

optilife mask

The problem I have with this mask is I a WIDE face and the wings keep pushing the mask forward until the pillows lose their seal. I need to fabricate some type of strap to go around the back, just have not gotten around to it.

The doc came to the lab the morning of my titration. He wrote the script, the RT had me choose a DME and faxed the info. The DME got the insurance approval and I stopped by and picked it up that day.
